Okay, I took a fast look at the site. Short of downloading and installing
the program to play around with it, which I'm not about to do unless you are
paying me a consultant fee, I don't really see anything that directly
addresses some of my questions about integrating it with current standard MT
work processes.

Could you outline for us exactly what the physician using this program would
have to do to export documents, attach them to dictation for completion by
transcription, and deliver them securely to the MT, and exactly what the MT
would have to do to complete those documents and return them securely to the
client for upload into the EMR? Or would it only be possible to work in a
client's copy of your program by connecting to his computer over the
internet and temporarily taking over its operation with a remote-control
program of some sort? The latter scenario is distinctly less desirable, as
it is slower, interferes with the client's use of the computer if done
during working hours, and requires that separate copies of any MT tools be
installed on the client's computer.

And, yes, we know Word does a crude character count and a crude line count,
but how would the MT generate a summary of characters added to the exported
document/record using either Word's count or, preferably, the count
generated by a more sophisticated line counter of their choice, or would
that be something we would all have to figure out, or pay someone else to
figure out, ourselves?

If the exported base documents are Word documents, then naturally we would
be able to use any Word spellcheckers, medical dictionaries, and
Word-compatible expanders installed on our computers when working with those
documents, which is good.

But I would like a succinct explanation of just how the export/import
processes would work at both client and MT end, if such a process is indeed
possible. How much is automated in the program, from file naming to
transmission, and how much would the client or MT be expected to provide
their own solutions for?
